Is it just me? Everytime I come home from racing I smell 2stroke for at least a couple of days. It's almost like it's coming from me or something and bathing doesn't make it go away. I'm not complaining, just wondering if anyone else notices the same.

The only time I smell it after a ride is when I'm behind someone who burns that bean oil.

But I do have a recuring dream. I'm climbing this huge rough hill. I top it to find nothing!! :scream: Just a cliff I'm going over that has to be a thousand feet down! Scares me ever time!!:silly:

I get them too, I think it has to do with the dust and 2-stroke smoke. I also hear bikes for days after ridng, but the voices in my head say it's from reading stuff on DRN too much.

I don't smell the smoke for a couple days, but I sure do get headaches:(. I only smell the 2 stroke smoke for the rest of the night.

I used to get the headaces too, but I thought it was from too many Barley juice power drinks :) . Maybe it is from the 2 smoke, I have not been getting them any more since up got my Thumper and stay in front of the pack to avoid dust and Banshee smoke :) , I eased up on the Barley juice too :) .

Sometimes, when I'm pushing real hard on a good single-track, I 'hear' 4-strokes chasing me!:confused:

Castor oil gives me a head aches if I follow someone for a few hours.

I run Castor 927 in my KDX, really good stuff I think. Once you find the right mix ratio and carb jetting it burns super clean with good lube protection. A friend of mine who used to race MX turned me on to it. If mixed with high octane gas it'll burn the eyes off the rider behind you. After a full day of riding the smell follows you home.:p

I know I have it bad also because the 927 I run in my mx bikes, I also run it in a lawn boy mower,weed eater and my chain saw. Nothing like the smell of burning 2-stroke oil while having to work around the house. It helps to take your mind off yard work by the smell of a 2 stroke mxer. :D
